The deposition of high quality MOF films is still challenging but offers potential
applications in gas storage, catalysis, sensing, lighting and solar energy
harvesting. This work reports a simple, fast and inexpensive method for the
synthesis of crystalline luminescent terbium MOF films Tb(BDC) (BDC = 1,4-
benzenedicarboxylate) using ultrasonic spray deposition on top of glass and
quartz substrates. The films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), profilometry, infrared (IR), UV-Vis and
luminescence spectroscopies. The impact of the time of deposition and
temperature on the structural, morphological and luminescence properties
were analyzed. As expected, the emission spectra present characteristic
emission bands of the terbium luminescence for all the films. The studies
demonstrate that this film synthesis method can be extensive to other MOF
structures.
